Quinta Art  "Quinta" is from the latin word "quintus” that plainly translates "fifth". Fifth, in view of the fact that the senior Fine Arts students will soon be over their four- year academic education and training. That being the case, it's time for them to bear the fifth level which discloses the outcome of their creative, complex, imaginative minds and hard work. The artworks set out express the completion of their artistic inculcation and their personal progress by making them visible to the public. By all means it's necessary for these young artist to experience and be prepared for the world that they are about to undergo, that degree which they will be in after all the endeavors they made, the fifth stretch, quinta.
